        <h2>Guidelines</h2>
        <p>
          Prox Card &gt; Magnetic Stripe &gt; Keyboard
        </p>
        <ol>
          <li><strong>Prox Card</strong> is the most convenient, but also the most expensive. The device must be configured (once) to work with Yale IDs. Configuration settings are on the Crowdsourced Wiki Page below.</li>
          <li><strong>Magnetic Stripe</strong> works well, but many people accidentally have to swipe a second time (flipping it around).</li>
          <li><strong>Keyboard</strong> is quick when someone has trouble getting their card out.</li>
        </ol>
        <h2>Where Can I Get A Device?</h2>
        <p>
          <ol>
            <li>Bass Library - Borrow one from <a href="https://reservations.yale.edu/bmec">Bass Library</a> (they may have some as of January 2014)</li>
            <li>Buy One - Order Online (see Crowdsourced Wiki Page below)</li>
            <li>Keyboard Only - CardSwipr can be useful without a usb device. You can input people by netid, and it will still generate a useful list for you.</li>
          </ol>
